I had a closer look at the log files today. The relevant test failure
messages are

Assertion 'r >= 0 && u == expect' failed at
../src/test/test-calendarspec.c:78, function test_next(). Aborting.

FAIL test-calendarspec (exit status: 134)


Assertion 'timezone_is_valid("Europe/Berlin")' failed at
../src/test/test-time.c:165, function test_timezone_is_valid(). Aborting.

FAIL test-time (exit status: 134)


I vaguely remembered something about test-builds where tzdata was not
installed. Creating a chroot without tzdata did produce the same test
suite failure. So I assume the AWS build chroots do not have tzdata
installed (whereas the official buildds do). Can you confirm that?

If so, updating the wiki in that regard might help others to spot such
an error more quickly (if they know certain packages are missing
compared to a chroot that was created via debootstrap --variant=buildd)

Regards,
Michael
